for taking this step but I hope not to
find you my sweet cousin arrayed in the ranks of my accusers and malingers. I have seldom done a thing
that cost me so much mental pain and heart up-braiding as this but stern duty commanded and I
obeyed. Toad I am working a little, playing a little, studying a little and doing nothing to a considerable
extent. I was sadly disappointed when you did not come up last week. I had been anticipating a fine
time, but I know by dear experience that we are all subject to sad disappointments. Coz in your last
letter you said nothing about the answers to those questions which I propounded to your green
meadow "Oracle"
I am looking for a letter from George Arthur tomorrow. George speaks of coming down to stay a
few days with me before I go off to school again which I expect to do about the 10th. of April next. I think
I will pay you a visit before I leave"

Toad you can tell Poso ?that her beau ideal John Kenedy has returned to Texas. Tell her she has
my warmest sympathies in this but first and greatest grief. Toad I believe the folks are all well. Please
excuse all mistakes.
Write soon to your Cousin
